(AP) — A Kansas judge was wrong to dismiss a woman's lawsuit seeking police body-camera video of her son's shooting, ruling the judge could not deny the open records request simply because it was part of a criminal investigation, an appeals court ruled Friday. The ruling states judges have the discretion to disclose records if they find that the disclosure is in the public's interest, doesn't interfere with a law enforcement investigation, doesn't reveal confidential sources and techniques, doesn't endanger anyone's safety, and doesn't identify the victim of a sexual offense. "[...] the district court appears to have simply decided that disclosure shall not be made whenever a law-enforcement agency objects, even though the statute clearly gives the court discretion to order disclosure in such cases," according to the appeals court's ruling.
